Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Toucan

Step1. Setting the Eyes in Place

Begin by drawing a large circle. Within this circle, draw a smaller one. This inner circle will form the toucan’s eye.

Step1. Setting the Eyes in Place

Step 2. Creating Depth for the Eye

Fill the space between the two circles with black to give the toucan’s eye depth and contrast.

Step 2. Creating Depth for the Eye

Step 3. Drafting the Beak’s Base

Sketch the initial outline for the beak. Remember, toucans have distinctive long beaks!

Step 3. Drafting the Beak's Base

Step 4. Adding Toucan Traits to the Beak

Draw a gently curved line down the middle of the beak. Add some characteristic curves to the beak’s tip to capture the essence of a toucan.

Step 4. Adding Toucan Traits to the Beak

Step 5. Shaping the Head

Draw a smooth curved line from the upper left and another from the lower left of the beak to shape the toucan’s head.

Step 5. Shaping the Head

Step 6. Bringing the Body to Life

Extend a curved line from the back of the head to initiate the body. Sketch a leaf-shaped outline on the body’s backside to represent the wing.

Step 6. Bringing the Body to Life

Step 7. Crafting the Claws

Now, let’s give our toucan something to perch on! Draw the bird’s feet with this guide.

Step 7. Crafting the Claws

Step 8. Introducing the Perch

Draw a sturdy branch beneath the toucan’s feet, providing a natural habitat feel.

Step 8. Introducing the Perch

Step 9. Tail Feathers Aflutter

For the tail, sketch four “U” shaped lines that fan out, giving our bird balance and flair.

Step 9. Tail Feathers Aflutter

Step 10. Refining the Toucan’s Appearance

With the basic structure in place, add intricate details to the bird’s body to make it unmistakably a toucan.

Step 10. Refining the Toucan's Appearance

Step 11. Adorning with Feather Details

On the wing, draw wavy lines to represent the layers of feathers and add depth to your illustration.

Step 11. Adorning with Feather Details

Step 12. Behold, Your Toucan!

Step back and admire your work. You’ve now drawn a toucan with all its defining features!

Step 12. Behold, Your Toucan!

Step 13. Coloring and Personalizing

Now, for the most fun part! Add vibrant colors to your toucan. While we provide a suggested color palette, don’t hesitate to let your creativity run wild and color your toucan in any shade you desire.
